Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Italy: 11,000 migrants arrive in a single week, over 130 test positive for coronavirus

Aug 5, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Italy’s former Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has been sharply criticized for his “nationalist,” “racist”  views, particularly when he warned that Europe risked becoming an “Islamic caliphate” given the flood of illegal migrants from North Africa. One of Salvini’s biggest supporters is Tony Iwobi, Italy’s first and only black senator. Although Iwobi is routinely slammed for his “populist” views, he has stated: “Anything I do today, I’m not doing for myself, but for the nation I represent and for the African black race!” He also argues that the League, a party routinely characterized in the establishment media as xenophobic, is not anti-immigration, and states: “We are for legal migration. Anybody who comes through the right channel in the legal way is highly welcomed. We are for refugees, but we are against illegal immigration.”

Italy’s current coalition government has implemented a suicidal immigration policy. It has lost control over the illegal migrants who are swarming in from North Africa. A few days ago, the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa ran out of room to quarantine an influx of Tunisian migrants in small boats. The island is at a loss due to sheer volume of illegal migrants flowing in. Also, several days ago it was reported that an estimated 11,000 migrants arrived in Italy in a single week! And in yet another report:

An estimated 134 migrants that the leftist government had relocated to a reception centre in northern Italy have tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus. The large coronavirus outbreak was reported in former barracks that have been converted into a migrant reception centre in the city of Treviso. A total of 134 out of 293 migrants tested positive for the virus.

Globalists have been claiming that since Western countries are experiencing diminished birthrates, the only option is to open the doors to anyone who wants to enter, regardless of the ideology or health status of the migrant, and regardless also of his or her motives. Jihadists who infiltrate the “refugee” stream are ignored. They’re even lost track of by increasingly by globalist governments. See HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

“Estimated 11,000 Migrants Arrived in Italy in a Single Week,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 1, 2020:

Italy has seen a surge in migrant arrivals in recent weeks, with as many as 11,000 arriving last week, half of them coming from Tunisia.

The Italian Interior Ministry released a statement this week saying: “Autonomous landings on the Italian coast have more than multiplied in a very short period of time.”

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio went on to call for aid from the European Union, saying the bloc “must address this issue immediately” and work to redistribute the incoming migrants. Di Maio also noted the health risks due to the potential spread of the Wuhan coronavirus, Le Figaro reports.

Of the 11,000 migrants to arrive in Italy last week, many came by small boat. Around half of them came from Tunisia, most of them Tunisian citizens.

For those who come from Tunisia, the Italian island of Lampedusa, the part of Italy closest to the North African coast, is often their target. On Tuesday night alone, around 300 migrants arrived on the island in 13 small boats….

“Over 130 Migrants Relocated by Italian Govt Test Positive for Coronavirus”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 2, 2020:

An estimated 134 migrants that the leftist government had relocated to a reception centre in northern Italy have tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus.

The large coronavirus outbreak was reported in former barracks that have been converted into a migrant reception centre in the city of Treviso. A total of 134 out of 293 migrants tested positive for the virus.

Governor of Veneto Luca Zaia confirmed the cases this week, saying in comments reported by Il Giornale on Thursday: “There are more than 130, probably 134, positive migrants in the former Serena Barracks.”

The screening was prompted on Tuesday when one of the migrants fell ill and later tested positive for the Chinese virus. Tests were then extended to all the residents of the reception centre.

Just over a month ago, a Pakistani migrant living at the facility tested positive for the virus and was placed in solitary confinement for four days. He had allegedly initially hidden his symptoms by taking ibuprofen.

The new large number of coronavirus cases come as Italy has seen a surge in migrants arriving in the country, primarily from North Africa.

Former Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini slammed the government earlier this week on the risk of a fresh wave of coronavirus inspections that could be sparked by the high number of migrant arrivals.

“Landings have tripled since last year, with illegal immigrants being recovered even near Maltese waters, while Lampedusa is collapsing and hundreds of immigrants flee the reception centres who risk spreading Covid-19,” Salvini said.

The island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean has been particularly overwhelmed, with arrivals of migrants becoming so frequent that it has been claimed that a new boat containing more migrants arrives every hour on average….

    This is a form of genocide. Many girls will be raped, people will be murdered, Italian culture will be destroyed, and life will be worse for everyone. Islam weakens a people while enriching a few disgusting thug imams and their bodyguards.

      And many people will get corona virus because these animals want the non-muslims to get corona and die.
      They deliberately spread corona and other illnesseeds like HIV,and they want to destroy Italy
      Why does the Italian government allow them to enter their country?

      I think it’s all part of the plan. Bring in a violent subculture and let them run free, raping and killing at will. At some point, people will demand security, and the government will clamp down on the tax payers. In the meantime, via COVID and murder, they will cull the European populations, leaving a nation of muslims who they globalists think will do their bidding. Eventually, all the European nations will turn brown, and they will have their New World Order.

    The bright side is where I prefer to look. At least one of the 11,000 new arrivals will be a decent person, could even be as many as three.
    Italy RIP.
    11,000 in a week. They would surpass the population of the town in which I was born in one months time. Frightful little place, freezing rain blew sideways there one time about 45 years ago, got into the lock on the back door and froze/busted the lock. My father has been getting around to replacing it ever since. My mother has been so worried about it that she hasnt slept more than 9 hours a night since it broke. And vacations (forget about it) they wont leave the house empty for more than a week at a time.

    Im sure its the same for the citizens of Lampedusa.

      According to Wikipedia the population Lampedusa was 6299 before recent invasions. If I were female or related to one in Lampedusa I would take me and my family the first plane to Hungary or the first boat to Poland.

        I understand your point–but if Italy abandons Lampedusa to the Muslim invaders it will be even worse.

    Most are from Tunisia the articles says; Tunisia is the much acclaimed most “progressive” and affluent country in North Africa dominated by Islam. I guess by affluent, that means they can afford a boat ride. What an evil, hateful ideology is Islam. To spread it is a crime.

    Italy is such a beautiful country with warm people. They don’t deserve this madness. A person like Salvini is needed now, more than ever. It is disgusting these Muslims try to spread the Corona to non Muslims.

    • Rufolino says

      Aug 6, 2020 at 3:43 pm

      Sorry, but “the people of Italy” aren’t warm. They are ruthlessly cold, calculating and detached.

      But it is all disguised with laughter, broad smiles, and a loud manner. This is what tourists experience, because Italians want their cash. They have given this performance to tourists for centuries. It works.

      But, if there is nothing they want, the smiles vanish and Italians will look straight through you.
      People think they are “warm” ? A few might be.

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 7, 2020 at 1:46 am

        With all respect, Rufolino, I don’t think the problem with Muslims invading Italy is that Italians are too mean…

    Italy NEEDS to send all of these “Syrian Refugees”(TM) back to where they came.

    Moslems do not belong in Italy.
